Are there historical examples of countries or kingdoms that did a complete 180 on their old allies - not counting vassals or similars changing one master for another?

Italy, both world wars if you count that

The Sino-Soviet split is similar. Neither was the other’s “master,” but relations deteriorated.

Yeah, pretty much standard in hostile regime changes. ROC to PRC, Russian Empire to USSR, Italy multiple times, happens literally all the time in third world countries where regimes are toppled by first world backed forces to install a government more friendly to said first world country (pretty much exactly what happened in the US tbh)
